He Gave Himself Away.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
She would never have been sure if he had not

his vacation at a camp up in the country She

some very pretty girls were alleged to have been
seen in the neighborhood She suspected. Girls
always suspect. They always say they never

back and, of course, he went up to see her.
They sat on the sofa. The first thing that struck
her was that he sat closer up than usual, and
when he put his arm al ound her it Tapped clean
over on the same side. She didn't like that, but
when he looked into her eyes and said: My

rose up and left the room. 1t dawntd upon him

Separate Schools North and South.

From the Washington Post (Dem1
Attention is called TO the fact that Conuncti-
cut did not abolish separate schools for white
and colored children until 1885, that not until
1855 was the separate school system done away
with in Massachusetts and not until 1889 in OHIO
1t may be added that if there were as many
negro children in these States in proportion to
white children as in the District of Columbia

have continued to this day.

United States Senate, went to Montreal the
other day to have conference with Sena-

John Lynch, the mahogony-colored indi-
vidual who beat Gen. Powell Clayton for
temporary chairman of the last Republican
National Convention. Lynch is a power
among the colored Republicans of the South,
and has an especially strong hold in the
State of Mississippi. 1t is said that Col

man to furnish money enough to buy up the

that Senator Sherman agreed to furnish

Judge Endicott's Horses.

Some of the Republican journals are try
ing to amuse their readers at the expense of
Judge Endicott, the Secretary of War.
Judge Endicott wanted a pair of horses be
cause the pair his predecessor, Mr.. Lincoln,
left him were worn out. He notified Col.
Batchelder to purchase pair, and he told
him that while he did not want expensive
horses he was particular about their color
He wanted bay horses, though why he pre-
fers bay to black, or white or gray horses
he did not say. Doubtless he has a very
good reason for his preference.
The horses were purchased and the voucher
forwarded TO the accounting officer of the
Treasury. That official promptly refused to
pass it, because money appropriated by Con
gress for army transportation cannot be
legally used in purchasing horses for the
Secretary of War;
The cost of the horses was $500, and
doubtless they are very handsome animals
If Judge Endicott keeps them he will have
to pay for them himself Congress, how
ever, may reimburse him for the outlay,
because Judge Endicott regards them as
belonging to the government and not to
himself
This little incident shows how careful
Democratic officials are in distributing the
peoples money. Doubtless Judge Endicott's
| predecessor had no trouble in having the
vouchers for horses for his use paid, although
the law that is in force now is the same that
has been in force for years. Judge Endicott
has not complained that he has been UNI

Effects of Light and Air on Dair

A scientific writer says that II ws

ton which the freezing has interfered

The effect of strong ray of light
falling on milk is to develop the fer.
.mentive organisms that lead to tho
decomposition of the liquid. They are
of a vegetable character, and need
light as well as warmth to enable them
to thoroughly do their work. Il s,
therefore, expedient to keep milk 10

Poultry Raising for Profit.

A Nashville (Tenn.) correspondent
of the Poultry Record thus relates his
experience in endeavoring to raise
poultry and at the same time realize
something for his outlay and trouble:
! have been working, in a quiet way,
for four or five years trying to con-
vince myself that there is money In
fowls where they are kept for their
eggs only. The question of profits in
boilers, fryers. etc. have never tried
to solve to any great extent My first
effprt, several years ago. was with or

age for flock of Is hens, was ~ eggs

finement and bought all they consum

Then tried Partridge Coshins, and
they laid me Sc eggs year each and
ate about the same as the mongrels.

The crop for 1885 was something
under 500, 900, 900 pounds on an area
of about 725.000 acres. Statistician
j. R Dodge, of the Department of
Agriculture, Washington. says the to-
bacco growers received so small COM
pensation for their labor last year that
they have greatly curtailed produce
ton. Their product Is in the hands of
dealers who are now making hay
while the sun shines In tobacco boom,
by which they hope to clear out at
double rates their overburdened ware
houses. fill orders for large part of
next years consumption, and then
scoop In the cured tobacco of the COM
ing crop next winter and spring at
much lower rates than they are hop
ing to sell their surplus for. This is
the animus of wild estimates of next
to no tobacco crop in 1887 which are
now in vogue. Before Christmas to-
bacco spectators will see a new light;
there will be larger area than they
thought and the yield will be beyond
expectation, and the market will
be dull. and consumers sup
piled. and the whole situation
changed so that growers will be offered
only moderate advance on the last
years rates. The present boom does
not interest farmers 1t is for the
trade, and it will be six or eight
months before the farmers will market
their new crop. On the LIST of July
the average stock on hand in all West
ern markets for five years, 1881-1S85,
was about $4,000 hogsheads. The
July average for the last two years.
1886 and 1887, was over $4,000 hogs
heads, fully double. That explains
the reduced area on the part of the
farmers and of a desperate effort to cor
ner prices and get rid of the surplus
on the part Of the dealers The re-
ceipts the last three years, from JAN
uary to July, have averaged 1914 900
hogsheads. against 10, 900 for the four
previous years. Western Rural.
